Slam! for Kiki. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of her this season. She showed really serious potential last year.

Kiki played extremely well for us in several games and agree, she has much potential.  With Brink being moved to power forward, one would think Tara will give Kiki a lot more playing time.  Much depends on the development of Betts who (many of us agree) is a program changer.  Then throw seasoned Belibi and Prechtel- two more post players and you can understand Tara's challenge.

Wherever Kiki fits into the rotation, I hope we don't juggle starting lineups depending on who our opponents are.  My guess is that Tara will start either Fran or Ashten with Kiki coming in early off the bench, but who knows what will develop during Fall practice.

I think a pre-PAC 12 schedule vs. two Top 5 (South Carolina and Tennessee) and three borderline Top 25 teams 
(Creighton, Gonzaga and FGCU) is about right for a very good Stanford team which is very good at all positions 
EXCEPT obviously at PG.  

And speaking of Tennessee, I just checked their current roster and they are STACKED with very good talent
including:

Jordan HORSTON  6'2    (led Tennessee last season - 16.2 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 4.0 apg, 1.4 spg)   ESPN #2 overall in 2019 
Rickea JACKSON  6'2    (led Miss State last season - 20.3 ppg)    ESPN #5 overall in 2019
Tamari KEYS  6'6    (led Tennessee and the nation last season with 3.5 bpg, also 10.5 ppg, 8.1 rpg)
Jillian HOLLINGSHEAD  6'5    ESPN #35 overall in 2021
Justine PISSOTT  6'4     ESPN #11 overall in 2022
Jasmine FRANKLIN  6'1    (led Missouri State last season - 14.9 ppg, 12.1 rpg, 2.4 bpg)  
Sara PUCKETT  6'2    ESPN #45 overall in 2021

and two very good PGs:

Jasmine POWELL  5'6
Jordan WALKER   5'8
